Lions must now win their 2 remaining games to have a chance at a top 4 finish, I guess that's the downside to having a poor first half of the season, you get punished if you drop a game after 9 in a row, instead of being a few wins up in front like Sydney were a few rounds ago, Sydney are likely to keep top spot as a result unless if they screw up their last 2 games, screw up their last 2, they could finish as low as 5th.

If Essendon win against Sydney, they could be tough against Brisbane, knowing that they still have a small chance at finals, so Lions must bring their best to remaining 2 games to have a shot at a top 4 finish.

Hawks will definitely be playing finals, they have the 2 easiest teams left to face. Well done to them, from 0-5 to 12-9, likely 14-9 at end of season, no one saw that coming.

Dogs will want to win the last 2 games, or have to rely on the Blues to drop one or Freo to drop both.

Freo will want to win at least one, which they should do, 2 will be preferable though. 56 points guarantees a spot in the finals this year, 54 probably will get them there though.

The premiership is just about anybody's in the 8, all teams have demonstrated they can string 4 wins together including the Dogs and Hawks, except Freo I think, but they have strung 3 wins together this season, they just need to go one step further.

I think Freo might be one for next year. They have an excellent side coming but they are still very young.

I think Geelong were just stronger on Saturday and Freo certainly missed Treacy who has been very strong up forward.

They would need to beat GWS at home this week who are looking very good at this stage.

Then they have Port Adelaide at home and i give Freo advantage there but no certainty that is for sure.

I have no idea who is going to win the premiership but would prefer Brisbane, Geelong or GWS to win.
